The current is the flow of electrons.

Temperature is the movement of atoms.

As the current increases there is more collisions between the atoms and the electrons. Some of the energy from the electrons is transferred to the atoms, thus they move faster and so the temperature increases.

Explain does the reverse saturation current change with temperature or not?

Yes it does. Is (sat current) actually increases with an increase in temperature as it is a minority carrier phenomenon. The concentration of minority carriers is dependent on the breaking of the covalent bonds. One way this can happen is through thermal ionization. (Elec. Engg Semiconductor POV)


What is the relationship between temperature and solubility?

Generally, as temperature increases, the solubility of solids in liquids also increases. However, the solubility of gases in liquids usually decreases as temperature increases. This relationship is described by the principle known as Le Chatelier's Principle.


Why temperature coefficient of copper is positive?

The temperature coefficient of copper is positive because as temperature increases, the resistance of copper also increases. This is due to the increased vibrations of copper atoms at higher temperatures, leading to more collisions with free electrons and hindering the flow of electric current.


Which element increases its electrical conductivity as its temperature increases?

The element that increases its electrical conductivity as its temperature increases is typically a metal, such as copper or silver. This behavior is due to more free electrons being available to carry electric current at higher temperatures, leading to an increase in conductivity.


The solubility of most solids as the temperature increases?

The solubility of most solids increases as temperature increases. This is because as temperature rises, the kinetic energy of molecules also increases, allowing solvent molecules to break apart solute molecules more easily. However, there are exceptions where solubility may decrease with temperature due to the dissolution process being endothermic.

Does the temperature of the wire affect the current?

Yes, the temperature of the wire can affect the resistance of the wire, which in turn can affect the current flowing through it. As the temperature increases, the resistance of the wire also increases, which can reduce the current flow.


Does the current ina circuit increase with increase in temperature?

Resistance increases as temperature increases. If Voltage is held constant then according to Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance then current would decrease as resistance increases.

How does temperature affect current flow in electrical circuits?

Temperature can affect current flow in electrical circuits by changing the resistance of the materials in the circuit. As temperature increases, the resistance of the materials also increases, which can reduce the flow of current in the circuit. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the resistance decreases, allowing for more current to flow through the circuit.


What happens if the temperature of a diode increases?

When the amount of current passing through a circuit increases, it generally increases the temperature, and consequently the resistance. Simply stated, it is harder for the current to pass through the circuit if the temperature increases. The Large Hadron Collider uses superconductors to pass current to its electromagnets. A superconductor passes current through its circuit materials with almost no resistance at all, generally by supercooling the circuit materials.


What is the effect of temperature on leakage current?

Flow of current in the collector circuit produces heat at the collector base junction. This increases the temperature. More minority carriers are generated in base collector region, since more bands are broken,the leakage current increases. In other word, leakage current increase when temperature increase.


If pressure is constant and current increases the resistance?

I assume you meant pressure to voltage. The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. If the temperature of the conductor increases due to increased current, then the resistance tend to increase too.


Does base direct current increase or decrease with temperature?

The base direct current (DC) in semiconductor devices generally increases with temperature. As temperature rises, the thermal energy allows more charge carriers to become available, which enhances conductivity and increases current flow. However, excessive temperature can lead to increased resistance and potential device failure, so there is a limit to this trend. In contrast, for some materials, such as metals, resistance typically increases with temperature, which can decrease the current if voltage remains constant.


Why resistance of germanium increases on decreasing temperature from room temperature to 80 Kelvin?

loss of free current carriers as temperature drops.


Is barrier potential temperature dependent?

Yes, the barrier potential in a semiconductor diode is temperature dependent. As temperature increases, the barrier potential decreases due to changes in the band gap energy and carrier density, leading to increased leakage current. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the barrier potential increases, reducing the leakage current.


When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?

Temperature increases as pressure increases.
